When the children saw that the adults were up to work, they all ran back sensibly.

"Jinhua, did your aunt bring this rice up?" Mrs. Zhang asked.

Jin Hua nodded: "It was my aunt and Uncle Song who moved together." ”

Mrs. Zhang looked back, and Song Chongjin had gone to work in the field silently.

I was satisfied with Song Chongjin again.

His face was not shown, and he urged Wang Yongfu to drag the rice home quickly.

Watching Wang Yongfu drive the carriage and walk slowly towards his home, he was envious of the other families around him, and he rubbed it over: "Uncle, uncle, when your carriage is empty, can you lend it to our envoy?" Let our family also stain your light? ”

Wang Laozhu doesn't care, he has the best reputation and face in his life, as soon as he heard that people held him high, he thought that if he was busy, this mule would be lent to others to call, and it would be nothing, and he could get a good reputation.

Open your mouth to say yes.

Mrs. Zhang was anxious, stepped forward, and inserted her waist: "You want to use our family's carriage, okay, when our family's grain is harvested, let my eldest go." But I said in advance, with a one-day carriage, in addition to the green fodder of the mule, and the three meals a day of my eldest child, twenty eldest sons a day. ”

The person who came to borrow the carriage for nothing was the mother-in-law of the family who liked to take advantage of the village the most, and when she heard that she had to take care of the forage of the mule, and she had to take care of the three meals a day of the boss of the Wang family, and she had to collect twenty big dollars a day, her face suddenly drooped.

"I said, Aunt Zhang, do you want to pick the door like this? It's all from the villagers, borrow your mule for use, and you're embarrassed to take the money? It's still twenty big boys a day, why don't you grab it? ”

"Whew! Lady, I don't pick the door and close your? I've never seen you so skinless and faceless who wants to take advantage of your old mother's family! Why am I embarrassed to take money? You don't have anything to do with my old Wang's family, why did you borrow a mule for nothing? With your big face? Or are you thick-skinned? Mrs. Zhang's eyes almost didn't roll to the sky, and while arguing with the mother-in-law, she didn't forget to kick Wang Laozhu.

This old man, the older he gets, the more confused he becomes, and he still thinks he is in charge! Someone else has two good words, and he lends such a good mule to someone for nothing?

Wang Laozhu saw that the two old ladies were arguing, their heads were big, and they didn't dare to stay for a long time, so they walked away with the power of Mrs. Zhang's foot.

The mother-in-law who loved to take advantage saw that Wang Laozhu, who was the best talker, was gone, and knew that she was not Mrs. Zhang's opponent, so she snorted and reluctantly went back to her own land.

When I went back, I was complained by the man in the family: "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing?" The mules that my uncle's family just bought are not used at home, how can you be cheeky enough to borrow them? Look, you touched your nose with ashes, right? ”

The mother-in-law was ruthless in her heart, and she was still unforgiving: "What's the matter? I just can't get used to it, I just rely on my daughter to earn money, what kind of garlic is it in front of my mother? ”

said that he patted his daughter-in-law twice angrily: "Look at other people's daughters, they will make money again, and they will stick to their parents' families!" Why did the old lady give birth to you debt collectors? Still not ready to work? I don't work and I don't have anything to eat at night......"

It was just a small episode, and no one took it seriously.

They are only busy in their own fields, and this grain must be received in their own houses before they can relax their hearts, where is the time to take care of other people's homes? Isn't it idle and painful?

Wang Yongzhu went home, Wang Yongping was still waiting for her, the two bowls of noodles were almost cold, and she didn't eat them.

The two brothers and sisters ate noodles in twos and threes, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, they heard Wang Yongfu's voice outside: "Fourth, come out and watch." ”

When he was discharged from the hospital, Wang Yongfu had already driven the carriage to the door of his house and was unloading bundles of straw.

Wang Yongzhu hurriedly stepped forward to help, and with her help, those heavy rice bundles, which were light and obedient in Wang Yongzhu's hands, were stacked together by An An.

Even if they knew that their sister-in-law was infinitely powerful, the two brothers Wang Yongfu couldn't help but feel a little inferior when they looked at their sister-in-law's relaxed appearance.

After unloading the paddy, Wang Yongfu hurriedly drove away.

Wang Yongzhu wanted to continue to prepare dinner in the stove house, and Wang Yongping squatted at the gate and looked at the pile of grain, afraid that someone would come to take the sheep.

From morning to night, the whole family went into battle, and when it was dark, the Wang family went home with exhaustion.

Except for those who are particularly desperate, they basically finish work at this time, and there is no one in the house to cook, and the mother-in-law has to trot all the way home, feel the dark and come out of the dining table, so that the hungry family members can fill their stomachs, and they will have strength the next day.

The Wang family has been like this in previous years, and this year, Wang Yongzhu cooked, especially Mrs. Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and felt a lot more relaxed.

I was so tired that I couldn't walk, but when I thought of Wang Yongzhu's lunch cooking, my steps involuntarily accelerated.

As soon as he pushed open the courtyard of the Wang family, a pungent smell of meat greeted him.

A table has been set up in the middle of the courtyard, with a large pot of stewed rabbit, a large pot of grass carp stewed tofu, and a few cold vegetables, as well as dry rice, and cold mung bean water, which makes people seem to be swept away.

Everyone put down the sickle and went to wash their faces and hands, and the children had long been around the table, drooling at the delicious food on the table.

The Wang family has a strict upbringing, and without the consent of adults, no matter how greedy these children are, they only watch, and none of them dare to stretch out their hands.

After eating and drinking, several children praised Wang Yongzhu again and again.

Wang Yongzhu also smiled, and announced in front of the whole family: "I'll make more breakfast tomorrow, if you can't finish it, let's take it at noon first." I'll go to town early tomorrow morning to buy some meat or something, and the eldest brother will leave the carriage at home, and drive the carriage faster, and the bundled rice will wait for me to come back to help carry it, and it won't delay anything. ”

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she first felt sorry for the money: "Today, there are pheasants and rabbits, and fish, and the family is better now, so you can't throw money like this?" It's good to have a little oily meat, where can I use it and go to the town to buy pork? What to eat is not to eat? In previous years, it was not as good as this, didn't they all come over? All of them are the lives of the poor in the village, and they eat big fish and meat every day, and they lose their lives! ”

Originally, when they heard that Wang Yongzhu was going to buy meat, everyone was happy, but when Mrs. Zhang objected like this, everyone's faces were bitter.

"Mother, the most critical time of the year is these few days, and our family's annual rations can be counted on. If you don't eat better, where can you bear it? I also feel sorry for my father and mother, at such an old age, I still have to work in the field, and my body and bones can't stand it? Besides, now our family has this condition, that is, we can afford to eat meat for every meal! I didn't have to burn my body in order to save that little money, isn't that a loss? Seeing a doctor and taking medicine is much more expensive than meat! ”
